They are here in the DC metro area.  Everything I'm seeing coming out of Virginia and surrounding elections leads off with abortion rights and hammers that point home. Cheers to the message getting drilled into the minds of the population everywhere.  

Radio silence in Texas.  I guess they figure we're a lost cause; they're likely right.

Not really any big off year elections in Texas? I don’t understand why they’d be blasting abortion attacks a year before 2024 elections in Texas.

True.  I forgot what thread I was responding to.  I guess we'll see what the airwaves look like next year.

Semiconductor plant, high speed internet, tons of infrastructure and these rednecks give Biden 38% approval. You used to be able to count on people appreciating investment in their state.

So they basically agree with the Dem/Biden position on essentially every issue, including abortion and public education, but hate Biden and would rather have Trump who would do the opposite of what they desire.  Absolute brain worms.

I'll give the GQP credit for one thing: they've done the most amazing job in history of getting people to vote 180 degrees from their actual interests.

I don't understand why he would resign.  Those statements only serve to highlight what the GQP is all about.

As somebody who lived in North Dakota (briefly) as a kid, and has lived all over the South, ND was the most racist place I've ever experienced.  Amazingly insular place.

Well, it shouldn’t be a state, but the GOP in the 1880s needed senators.

Here's my idea to improve outcomes: ranked voting, but not in the way you're thinking.

You go to the polls. You take a pop quiz of questions of 25 civics/history/constitutional questions selected randomly from among thousands. Each voter starts with a score of 25. For each question you miss, your voting score is reduced by one.  So if I get all 25 correct, my vote counts for 25 points. If you miss 20 of the questions, your vote only counts five points. 

 

GOP is spiking the football already in Virginia because Youngkin has seemingly convinced GOP voters to go early.

This year is the first time that a full General Assembly election in Virginia has had a 45-day early voting period and no-excuse absentee mail ballot rule since new voting laws were passed in 2021. Voters will have until Saturday to cast an early vote in what is widely viewed as a bellwether for the 2024 election. Every single seat in the state Legislature is up for re-election.

45 day EV period? Why would anyone in VA vote on election day?

Because not only are they voting early, they are voting often?

Tomorrow is a big day.  If the Dems take back the HoD and keep the Senate, it will bode well for 2024.  Losing the governorship and HoD was an omen for 2022 midterms

Don't sleep on MIssissippi tomorrow.  Cook has it at lean R, but the mere fact that it's this competitive is a good sign.

That’s a sleeper race and it hasn’t really been nationalized.

Holding serve in Kentucky looks likely, hopefully another indicator of democratic "over performance".

We should charge a poll tax too lol. Come on man

If the R’s win in VA, it’ll be a preview of what a R 2024 looks like across the nation

Need to keep one of the few red state governors we have.  Need to prevent the GOP from taking back more power in Virginia. Need Ohio to vote for legal abortion and legal marijuana.

We need turn out (of course we want all of those things), but turn out is the big indicator.  This being an off year, seeing high turnout means our side is very much engaged, which would be great news going into next year.

The Republican strategy for abortion is that they still have no strategy. There were talks from the VA state party about uniting behind a 16 week ban as a compromise, but there were some R pols in competitive races who were ducking the issue entirely. And then there's this dipshit. 

If the Rs have a good night, it's not because they have suddenly become coherent.

the Republican strategy is to fundraise all you can on the subject

I did my part. Given the results in August I’ll be shocked if we don’t enshrine women’s reproductive rights in the constitution tomorrow. I’m cautiously optimistic about the recreational cannabis issue but I haven’t seen any polling. It could just be wishful thinking on my part.

I’m volunteering as a poll worker again. It was pretty rewarding to participate last time so I decided to give it another go. I’ll be a paper ballot judge tomorrow. I’m not committed to doing it again after this but who knows? I said the same thing back in August.

GO ISSUES 1 & 2!!

Happy Election Day 2023!

Slow day here in Precinct HILL 2-D 01. I’m at a polling location that only serves one precinct. In Ohio a precinct has a max of 1,400 voters. I’ve processed 4 provisional ballot voters in the first 3 hours since the poll opened. I’m told there were more early voters for this election than there were for the one in August and that saw record turnout…for an August election, anyway. But this paper ballot judge position is really easy when there’s only one precinct and one ballot type to work with.

Hoping for an interesting night in the south with KY and MS. Would love to see just how “maxed out” MS is with D voters. Reeves openly taunting Jackson MS is shitty, but the welfare scandal is another item to trip him up. KY and MS not being “nationalized” by the media was a good thing.

Nobody’s expecting much of anything headline worthy in NJ, which is why I’m expecting them to be head scratcher of the night.

I read that in New Jersey the pubs are hanging their hats on windmills being the cause of everyone's problems.  That's so ridiculous I'm not going to be surprised if it works.  Unreal.

If I had to put in a guess:

KY - lean D, but it will be close (1-3 points) because of the partisan lean on the state.  But Cameron fucking sucks and Beshear is popular enough to scrape by.  Beshear won by 0.4% (5k votes) in 2019, so anything higher than that bodes well. 
MS - lean R, but could be the surprise of the night. Jim Hood hit 46.8% in 2019 and lost by 5.  Portended a good 2020 for Dems.  Republicans retain the legislature without any issues.  If Pressley exceeds 47%, it is a good sign. 
VA - Dems retain the Senate, pick up the House of Delegates.  Youngkin cries into his sweater vest and his reputation as the 2024 savior goes down the toilet. 
NJ - probably no surprises, Dems retain the legislature.   Governor Murphy has a 46-37 approval as of last month's Morning Consult.
